An elderly lady in our block has a TS68 newly fitted for Fire Safety compliance. She finds the pressure exerted by the closer quite difficult to overcome when opening the door either internally or externally. Can the pressure by reduced and if so how please?

The pressure on a Dorma TS 68 door closer can be reduced by adjusting the closing force. This can be done by changing the power shoe position and templating of the closer arm. The TS 68 allows selection of different closing forces (sizes EN 2/3/4) based on door size and requirements. Loosening the sweep and latching valves can also help adjust the closing speed for easier operation.
